You can look into something like http://pippinsplugins.com/mark-as-read-for-wordpress/ however it will require some moderate tweaks to work with bbPress I believe.

[Jared Atchison]

Check out this plugin (for 2.x)

[Jared Atchison]

I’ll let jjj know.

In the mean time, if you are looking for 2.x plugins you should be looking on WP.org.

hey everyone – i’m a newbie at wordpress, bbpress and php – but pretty decent with general html/css stuff.

i’m working on customizing a bbpress installation with the twentyten bbpress theme and want to set it up so on the main “Forums” page there is a Recent Activity column that displays information about the most recent post –

1. the topic the post was made in

2. the poster

3. the poster’s avatar

4. how long ago the post was mad

i have edited the loop-forums.php file to add the additional “Recent Activity” column to to the list of Forums – now I just need to figure out how to pull those pieces of information into the column.

i have created a placeholder column in loops-single-forum.php file where the information will be pulled, i just don’t know how to get it in there – i imagine there are existing functions i can call to pull this data, i just don’t happen to know what those are or where to find them!

any guidance you could give me would be greatly appreciated. thanks a lot!

I’m trying to implement a “Quick Post” box using the New Topic Form shortcode, [bbp-topic-form], but it seems non-admin users cannot post using the form (it says, “You cannot create new topics at this time.”). The same users can post a topic by actually going into the forums, so I’m wondering what the issue might be.

The website URL: capital.businesses.org.nz

It’s a subdomain installation of a multi-site network (businesses.org.nz), which in turn is part of a multi-network installation (using the ‘networks for wordpress’ plugin).

I have 2 bugs to report. Latest WordPress and BBpress plugin. No bbpress plugins.

1) I don’t know if anyone else has experienced this, but when I update my profile using the front-end profile editor, it resets the “disable visual editor” and “show admin bar on frontend” thingys so that I always see the visual editor (which i hate) and I don’t see the admin bar. So every time, I have to go back to backend and manually change them again!

2) I logged out, after replying to a thread, then immediately logged in on another account. Yellow text appeared above the reply box saying “you are now logged out”. Then I immediately posted a reply with apostrophies in, and instead of posting it, it reloaded the page with slashes added. I manually removed the slashes, hit the post button, and this time it worked as normal.

Anyone else got either of these?

acousticwebdesign, the “Fancy Editor” (which is using wordpress default editor) is only available in bbPress 2.1, which is still under development.

You might want to take a look

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/milestone/2.1

For bbPress 2.02 user, I recommend you to use Rich Text Editor For Comments which is using jWYSIWYG, although it’s may be a bit hard for beginners to configure it as it lack a setting page.

You can style the editor if you hate the default styling, provided that you know some CSS stuff.

[pimarts]

bbPress uses the default WordPress registration page.

DOMAIN/wp-login.php?action=register probably works.

hi dannyjimmy.

The point was more to find some kind of way between blogcommenting that many times becomes such a stupid form of intellectual exchange, because it has become custom to not really think about what you want to bring attention to. Cheering, fanclubbing, “yeah i think so too” mixed in with people trying to decipher the thoughts revealed in an article, newspost, blog post or whatever. By making them type in a title and making and independent “in its own right”-kinda-style – they will be forced to be more focused and people considering responding will have to choose which comment to comment on – which again will make it more focused – because one thinks – why would I respond to this ?

But, seriously – this is awesome: http://hypercomments.com. Note the thing with marking a part of the text and it automatically becomes a topic separate from the comments – that is seriously good !

And besides using posts 2 posts plugin by scribu you can get some of the way – by making a forum quickly when making a post – check it out: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/posts-to-posts/

It is a matter of convenience because you can just make a forum and then include by shortcode. Alternatively one could display the category-text that belongs to the forum while listing the topics belonging to it. That is using the category as an aricle in its own right and somehow displaying it when listing the topics.

But thanks.

WordPress runs post slugs through a sanitization filter to make sure there are no collisions. As such, no two slugs can be the same, regardless of the type of content that it is.

Are you fully using Akismet on the rest of your wordpress blog?

[Arun Singh]

Hello dosch,

You can try this for the later two cases, https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-role-editor/.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

[Jared Atchison]

You will need to do some custom development on your end. This isn’t implemented in core (at least not yet) because at the moment each theme/framework handles their layout options differently – so there is no easy way to cover them all.

You can probably use the code in https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-genesis-extend/ as an example.

Basically you will want to check for is_bbpress() and if that comes back true then run your code that forces the full width layout.

Hoping someone here has the knowledge to help.

I’m using the bbpress plugin with buddypress/wordpress install. I installed the bbcode plugin to let users use bbcode in the forums. Everything worked great, but now when you insert a youtube video on the forum with the bbpress post toolbar, I get this error:

YOUTUBE

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/highhob/public_html/ridecbr/wp-content/plugins/bbpress-bbcode/class_bbpress2-bbcode.php:268) in /home/highhob/public_html/ridecbr/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 866

The video DOES POST, but this error comes up first and I need to get it removed and resolved. Also, above any youtube video, the word YOUTUBE shows up.

Please let me know if you can help.

Thank you so much,

-George

Hi, i’m new, obviously, and I want to say that bbpress is a wonderful forum software for WordPress.

I have edited my own share of bbpress files; removing the topic tag system, multiple site notices, and several other aspects.

I have ran into a problem, I simply can’t remove the topic-form that is shadowing my main forums. My only intention is having the topic form in a completely seperate page so that way users can click a Create New Topic button and the hyperlink will guide them. I tried to go into all the single-form php files in my theme folder with no avail. Can anyone point me to the right php file, so I can remove this.

Thank you very much

I also intend on removing the “Voices”, if someone can point that out too–that’d be great, would save me some time.

[Jared Atchison]

bbPress is going to handle all of this fully in core soon (likely in 2.2).

Check out https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1694 for more details.

I’m making a post count plugin for bbpress 2.1, but the problem is that I’m new to PHP/MySQL, WordPress, and bbPress. From what I understand, I need to add a row called ‘post count’ to the usermeta table and hook the ‘bbp_theme_after_reply_form_submit_button’ action hook with a function that increases ‘post count’ by 1. I believe I must assign this newly hooked action a low priority as well so that the increase only comes after the post gets submitted into the database.

I should also add a function that builds all post counts for first time run, and even leave a button possibly called “rebuild post count” in the dashboard to run the function. Preferably, I’d like to add a feature where it can run itself every now and then to ensure things the posts are accurate.

I can count up everyone’s post count by filtering through the ‘posts’ table. All replies and topics are labeled as ‘reply’ and ‘topic’ in the post_type column, and there is a post_author column as well. Given these two columns, writing this function should be very simple. But I’m new to PHP/MySQL, and only a computer science student… So even this is a bit of work for me

Additionally, I can add another row so we can add artificial post count increase or decrease as well. Another row is needed because we don’t want the build/rebuild post count function mentioned above overwriting any increase or decrease an admin wants to have in effect. I personally need this row because I’m moving a 2yr old community off of IPB.

I am experiencing exactly the same problem. I’ve set up wordpress (3.3.2 de) one or two weeks ago, bbpress last sunday. But I’ve nothing migrated.

In the role of a webmaster I can view and edit everything in the forum. During the first tests I changed the visibility to private and back. As a contributor I can only post a new entry. But I can’t even view my own posts. This was on the first day. I deactivated bbpress.

Today I reactivated bbpress. Forums and posts seemed to have gone. I set up a new forum and moved the old posts (topics) to it. With/without allowing anonymus posting everything worked fine for the contributor’s role.

But after setting the visibility to “private” (later to “hidden”) and than back to “public” the same error occurs: contributors can see the forum from the outside but none of the topics/posts.

http://zukunft-stadtbahn.de/forums/forum/redaktionsbesprechung/

Anonymous posting is not allowed, visibility is public

We need to have an internal forum for the contributors to discuss our articles before publishing them.

Who can help? Thanks in advance

Hi,

I’m integrating bbpress into a wordpress site. The client wants to create multiple login identities, but each identity will potentially be used by multiple people. SO . . . in the comments section, I need the comment author to be able to enter his name in the name field, then display comment author’sname in the comments section.

Currently, no matter what I put in the comment author name field (then using ‘bbp_reply_author’ to display the author name), what I get is the admin name, not the name I typed in the field. Where does the name go? I’ve looked all over the files trying to find out where the author name typed into the form goes, and nothing comes up. Ditto for how to display it.

Thanks in advance . . .

I think I broke my forum.

I am using the plugin version of bbPress on WordPress, and recently deactivated all of my plugins trying to troubleshoot a theme error. I reactivated them, and when I go to Forums in the dashboard, “All Forums”, my forum is still there, but when I click on “View” it says:

Permission Denied

Not Found / No Access

The page you are looking for either does not exist, or you do not have the permissions to access it.

Going to http://mysite.com/forums takes me back to the main page.

Any suggestions?

How can i disable HTML and/or VISUAL editor? (2.1 plugin version)

Have you tried Settings > Forum?

Unless you’re talking about conditionally toggling the mode, in which case you’re on your own to build that as a plugin, similar to WordPress.

Hi,

I recently upgraded my VPS from Debian 5 to Debian 6.

Related to this were the following changes :

PHP : 5.2.6-1 —> 5.3.3-7

MySQL : 5.0.5a —> 5.1.49

It was a few days ago. Apparently everything was OK.

On my website there is a forum which is not very active so I don’t know exactly when the problems appeared but I think it must be related to this :

Today I saw that 2 people had posted an answer to a recent topic but something went wrong : both answers are not linked to the topic and when I want to add this manually through the backoffice the topic just don’t appear in the list.

Moreover, I tried to post answers to this topic but I immediadely get Erreur HTTP 500 (Internal Server Error). Of course the problem is the same when I try to answer to other topics.

Any idea about what the problem is and how to solve this ?

I’m using WordPress 3.3.2 and bbpress 2.0.2

Thanks for your help !

Best Regards,

Laurent
